ContextLattice: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ContextLattice AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from sheawinkler/ContextLattice. It costs 687 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Agent instructions for ContextLattice, a system that provides shared memory and runtime context to coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them before substantial changes, when searching stored project knowledge, or when handing work between agent sessions.
Why use it?
They show how to start an agent session, retrieve relevant repository context, and record decisions or failures for later work.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is sheawinkler/ContextLattice's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ContextLattice itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ContextLattice configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ContextLattice AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent Instructions

ContextLattice routes local memory and capabilities for this repo.

Start

  • Use http://127.0.0.1:8075; set both CONTEXTLATTICE_ORCHESTRATOR_URL and MEMMCP_ORCHESTRATOR_URL to it.
  • Before non-trivial work, run contextlattice_agent_start --soft --compact or scripts/agent_hooks/agent_start.sh --soft --compact.
  • For agent-native sessions, prefer contextlattice_agent_adapter bootstrap --agent <profile> --project <project> to track runtime state, handoffs, and reusable prompts.

Work Loop

  1. Retrieve scoped context before broad reasoning:
    • narrow: POST /memory/search
    • broad/multi-file: POST /memory/context-pack
    • helper: scripts/agent/contextlattice-pack "<task>" --project contextlattice
    • session helper: scripts/agent/contextlattice-session context-package --session-id <session_id> --pretty
  2. Read only returned files unless blocked or incomplete.
  3. Prefer repo-local conventions and deterministic scripts over repeated inference.
  4. Run checks that match the changed surface.
  5. Write durable decisions, failures, commands, and changed assumptions back:
    • scripts/agent/writeback --topic-path <path> --file <logical.md> --kind <kind> --stdin
  6. Before a major handoff or problem-solving prompt, run contextlattice_agent_session context-package --session-id <session_id> --pretty and use the bounded result as the factual scaffold.

Hooks

  • Use hooks for runtime health, git lane, env drift, rebuild, leak, resource, recall, and checkpoint checks.
  • Keep judgment here: correctness, safety, maintainability, minimal context, and repo convention beat style preference.
  • Do not paste long runbooks, API docs, examples, or architecture lore into always-loaded instructions. Put them in references/docs or ContextLattice.

Host Lifecycle Safety

  • Host supervisors, installers, schedulers, runtime start/stop paths, and recovery policy are host-lifecycle critical.
  • Before merge, complete the PR evidence contract; run scripts/agent/audit-host-supervisor-safety, matching failure injection, an installed upgrade smoke under an isolated scheduler identity, and at least two real scheduled intervals with identity/restart-count proof.
  • Source tests do not prove installed behavior. Never reuse an operator scheduler label or tag a host-lifecycle change without tested rollback.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
